I claim:

v1. A steam boiler having banks of water tubes connected to water chambers' with a space between the banks, heater having a tubular heating surface -in said space, and supports for the superhe'ater, some of said supports being connected to the boiler and others of said connected Vresilientlyto the boiler setting. 2.v A steam boiler having banks of water es connected to water chambers with a space between the banks, a

ing inlet and outlettheaders connected bv tubes, with at least a'portion of the Atubes in said space, a fixed member, resilient supports between the fixed member and the superheater, and fixed connections between-the superheater and the'boilerl 3. A steam boiler having banks of 'water vtu es connected to water chambers with'a space between the banks, a superheaterehaving inlet and outlet headers connected by tubes, with atleast a portion of the tubes in said space, 'a fixed member, resilient sup-v ports between the fixed member and the superhe'ater headers, and fixed supportsbetween the boiler and the superheater tubes.

4. .A steam boiler having banks of water tubes connected to water chambers with a a super-heater havmg` inlet and outlet headers connected by tubes, with at least a portion of the tubes 1 in said space, a fixed member, yieldingvsupd ports between the fixed member and the superheater headers, fixed supports between superheater tubes and O1 el'.

n a steam boiler, of horizontally theb l b k an upper and a lower and an outlet header extending space atright `angles to the bo 2 may be applied also said headers, and a ch asuperheatera tubular supersupports being' superheater av- .with the legs of the U llned water tubes: tu spaced apart, a superheater having an inlet h through said tubes within' said space and connecting said headers, a fixed member at oneend of one of yielding member between said end and said fixed member to support said end at least in part.

-6. In a k of horizontally inclined water tubes spaced apart, a superheater having an inlet and an outlet header extending through said space at right angles to the boiler tubes, tu

the outlet end of yielding member fixed member to end and the pipa fixed member at said outlet header, and a etween said end and said support at. least in part said ing :connected thereto.

spaced apart, a. superheater having an inlet and an outlet header extending through said space at rlght angles to the boiler tubes, -tubes within said space and connecting said headers, a fixed member outside the boiler setting and above an end of one of said steam boiler, an upper and a lower s within said space and connecting said headers,

' eaders, a U-shaped hanger around said endAv said fixed member, a spring around eachleg above said fixed member,and means on each eg'to bear. against the'end space atright angles to theboilertubes.

within said space and connecting said hlfeaders,- supports between said headers and anks Aef water tubes,

said

extending through of the spring,-`

whereby the greater part of the weight of the superheater is carriedon said water tubes,` a fixedmember at one end of one of said headers, and a yielding member between said fixed mem; ber and said end to support said end at least in part.

11. In a steam boiler, an upper and a lower' ba'nk ofhorizontally inclined water tubes spaced apart, a superheater having an inlet and an outlet header extending through said space at right angles to the boiler tubes tubes within said space and -connecting said headers, onel of said headers being 'at a level higher' than the'vlevel o f .the other of saidV headers, supports between the lower header and the lower bank of waterl tubes, suspension` devices between` the upper bank of water tubes andthe upper header, affixed member at one endof one of said headers, and a 1ieldi'ng member between said fixed member and said, end to support said end -at least in part. j

l2. In a steam boiler, aupper and a lower bank of horizontally inclined water tubes spaced apart, a superheater having an inlet and an outlet header extending through said space at right angles to-the boiler tubes, one

of said headers being at .right angles tothe boiler tubes, one of said headers being at a level higher than the level of the other header, U-tubes in said space and extending in the same general direction as the water tubes and connecting s'aid headers, supports between the lower header and the lower bank of water tubes and holding said lower header in substantially fixed relation to said lower bank, suspension devices between the upper bank and the upper header and holding said upper header in substantially fixed relation to said upper bank, a fixed member adjacent one end of one of said headers, and a. yield- I ing member between said end and said fixed member arranged to support said end at least tively to' said fixed member.

13. In a steam boiler and its setting, a'

superheater, means associated with boiler parts for' supporting said superheater in subf stantally fixed relation thereto, and other nin part and to'permit movement thereof relameans associated vwith the 'setting for sup porting said superheater inv resilient relation to said setting.

14. In al steam boilerand its setting, said boiler comprising water tubes, a superheater` ,he'ater tubes. means for. supporting both the headers and the tubes of the superheater from the boiler .tubesthe headers of the superheater extending 'through openings in the setting, fixedmembers located outside ofthe setting,`4 and means for yieldinglysupporting-.theendsfof said headers' by said' fixed `members@ i"....--'-

16. 'In a'steam boiler comprising water tubes and its setting," a superheater, means connected to boiler'tubes for supporting said superheater atcertain pointsl in substantially fixed relation to the tubes', and other means for supporting said superheater at another point in resilient -relation to said setting.
